How to see desktop in SteamVR

• • Share

@KABLUEE2 - Desktop view is currently broken for me as well across all of my test stations. It appears to also be not working for at least a handful of others on the SteamVR forums as well - I see at least 3 threads from the last week.

It looks like this is a SteamVR bug - in which case the recommended route is to post feedback on the SteamVR Bug report forum as that's something that only Valve can fix. It could also be a related to recent Nvidia driver updates - you can try rolling that driver back to see if that alters the behavior. That said, the only real fix may be waiting for a patch from Valve [which you'd first see in the betas channel].

This is not broken, the screen si not sjhowing on purpose, so as to not create an infinite loop, since the desktop switches to show the feed of your headset. To activate your desktop view, simply press the windows home-button [DO NOT ALT-TAB!!!] and it should show the home screen with your apps. The only problem is... l cannot get the mousepointer to actually click on command, that is why l was searching for an answer, maybe you can help me and find out what to do in this situation.
